[QUOTE="riverview, post: 263589, member: 1268"] they told you to unplug the fuel line and run the carb out of gas so there isn't any fuel to dry out in the jets (which are very small on a 9.9) you shouldn't be running ethanol in your outboards anyway so you shouldn't have to run it out of fuel every time you run it. Not a bad idea the last tiem you run it in the fall though. I tell people to run the fuel out of all there small engines if possible. It solves a lot of carb problems. sounds to me like you have a float needle valve sticking open and when you plug the gas tank in the motor floods out. I would get a new needle and seat and clean the carb. [/QUOTE]
